Videos have been making the ranks as the most preferred medium to deliver messages. If you aren’t already one of the brands leverage this medium, here is why you should get around to it immediately.

A third of all online activity is spent watching video

The reason why people are watching videos online are many. Some want information while some are their simply for the information. Either ways, your video has potential to be both entertaining and informative. It is like killing two birds with one stone.

From the perspective of Google and other search engines

YouTube is the number two search engine in the world

People go on Google first and then on YouTube when they are looking for any kind of information. A little work on digital marketing and the chances of getting your video to rank rises exponentially. If you want to rank on Google as it can affect your conversions, doesn’t it make sense to do the same on YouTube.

Videos rank higher on search than text content

Even on Google, a video with the same content will rank higher than a blog. A 2000 or more worded blog can be replaced by a video in no time. There is the added advantage that a smart phone user is more likely to watch a video for a few minutes than read an unbelievably long blog on their phones. And that is where the power is shifting to today, smart phone users will soon dominate the statistics of internet users if you are debating the fact of whether they already do.

Bounce rates are a concern for everyone. If a potential costumer isn’t sticking around, he is not going to make a buy or reach out to you. Videos have proven to drop bounce rates considerably!

B2B conversions

Videos increase people’s understanding of your product or service by 74%

In a world, filled with innovative solutions, getting people to understand what you are offering in itself can be a challenge. With a web explainer video, you are walking into a conversion that is half done already. Can you really ask for more with the competition or barriers that you face in the market today?

If your landing page isn’t doing all that well, then it might be time to take a hint from this statistic!

Why are they cost effective?

One of the factors that holds a lot off from making a video is the cost that goes into it. The truth is that making a video is more expensive than writing a blog about your product, solution or service, but there are advantages to it that are far outweigh the cost. You can reuse a video as and when you want, how many ever times you want. Not something you can do with a blog, once it is published somewhere you run the risk of posting copied content by reusing it elsewhere. It can go on your site, on a landing page, on any of your social media platforms as many times as needed. A web explainer video is a onetime cost that makes money for you over an extended period. Plus, if you weigh your options well, then it really doesn’t have to cost you so much either. Contact us to find out how we could make a video that delivers you money within your budget!
